piemn

Romanian

Alternative forms

Etymology

Probably from Latin pegma, from Ancient Greek πῆγμα (pêgma, “anything fastened or joined together; anything congealed”). The Romanian word's meaning seems to be more closely derived from the more abstract original Greek sense, as the Latin sense refers more to a specific object like a bookcase or fixture made of boards. Cf. also Spanish pelmazo.
